Truth and reconciliation ask us to listen with respect, learn from what we hear, and carry those lessons forward. Grateful to everyone who created space for reflection, remembrance, and learning today.

Today is a day to listen. Thank you to WhiteEagle and Kate for bringing us together in Burlington in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and to the everyone who shared their voices, their stories, and their experiences with us.

“That's exactly what we wanted for our kids, for them to know who they are, to love, to be strong and care about each other and care about people.”

And as Chief Mark Hill affirmed today, seeing his young daughter proud of her Indigenous roots and traditions, strong in her Indigenous identity and fearless in her dreams is exactly what they wanted for their children:

It is important for us to know our whole history. So that survivors, their loved ones and their communities can heal and we can learn the lessons of the past and never repeat them. Today was a day for remembering and honouring the survivors, but also a step on the long journey of reconciliation.

A meaningful morning at the Woodland Cultural Centre and Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Listening to survivors reminds us of the truth of what happened in residential schools across Canada.

Well… I’ve been saying it all along! Burlington really is pretty special: beautiful waterfront, amazing parks, wonderful neighbourhoods, and the best people. So yes, WorldAtlas… I’ll happily agree: Burlington is the best!

Back to school we go! 🎒📚 Wishing everyone a safe, happy and smooth return to school. Here is to a great year filled with lots of learning and fun! Good luck to all the students, teachers and families getting back into the swing of things!
